Who We Are

Horton’s Kids serves Wellington Park in Ward 8, one of Washington, DC’s most at-risk neighborhoods. In this geographically isolated community, the vast majority of households have an annual income under $10,000, well below the national poverty line.

Horton’s Kids began with a young woman and her friends organizing field trips around the city for a group of Anacostia children and grew to impact hundreds of children with a comprehensive model of academic, enrichment, and health and basic needs supports.
